If this were milk, I would not use it.  However sugar, you can use it 2 years after the expiration date.

Anything stored in Lock 'n Lock lasts much longer than the expiration date - as it's air tight. Checking how something looks and smells tells me when to toss it. But - I do check expiration dates -- and I keep lots of food in the freezer.

I have had lock 'n lock for years and I would totally agree with this on the basis of real usage.

Of course the sugar is still good to use. There's nothing in sugar that would spoil. It might harden and be difficult to use, but not spoiled.

Same here.  I can't believe even a box of baking soda has an expiration date now.  On some things I use my own judgment especially if it is within a couple of months.   I would use the brown sugar referred to in the other post.

Yes,  you can still use it.    Check for bugs.

My Question .. 

I bought a box of brown sugar a while ago and transferred

its contents into a L&L container.  The BB Date on the box

was May 12, 2017.  In your opinion do you think the sugar

is still good to use?  (It is now July 23, 2017) ..

Thank you..
